SHAPTON whetstone #2000 for maintaining knives for optimal sharpness.

These so-called “splash and go” stones are synthetic stones, but with the properties of a natural stone. They are hard stones that last a long time. This stone does not need to be soaked in water; it only needs to be splashed with water and is ready for immediate use.

The only ingredient I cannot explain is time: take your time. All gadgets, diamond stones, pull-through sharpeners, or even worse: electric sharpeners, will make your knives sharp for a moment, but never truly sharp—and they will not stay that way.
